This study is initiated to determine what is the participation of the Negro in the community life of Los Angeles. The writer has not attempted to cover the entire participation of the Negro, but only those fields in which the greatest attempt is made by the Negro or by the white participant to either project into the Negro community or into the big white community life. The field s suggested in the table of contents are those in which the writer noted the greatest amount of participation.; The educational and religious participation has been deliberately omitted because too much research would have been necessitated to have covered the field, and as the time for this thesis did not permit, it was avoided.; The reliability of the material is dependent upon the accuracy in interviewing, and upon the authority of the Census for 1920, together with the Charles S. Johnson Survey of 1927.; Due to the largeness of this problem, a considerable amount of material has had to be used in general form without much emphasis upon detail and concrete analysis. However, the writer has attempted to clarify the situation enough to point out the general tendencies involved.; There has been no attempt to inject any bitterness into this study. It has been [the] desire of the writer to set forth the situation just as it presented itself, without passion whatever.
